Um, I'm that guy too. These days there are more Linux games out there than I have time to spend playing them. Plus, my two biggest gaming time sinks got ported: Civilization 5 and Mount & Blade: Warband.

Gone are the days of fussing around with Wine or going through the hassle of discarding my workspace to boot Windows. Hence I don't bother considering buying games that are Windows exclusive.

Mr. President, we must not allow a gay gap!

That's only true underwater where they can't talk.

These are to be known as "insecurity questions" and their answers should always be nonsense that you save in your password manager.

But I want to see a video stream from my sprinkler showing the grass being watered. In 1080p. Otherwise, I'd have to get up and look out the window or something.

One could have said the same for Linux and now look at Android..

1000 soldiers is hardly an army. A battalion to brigade at best. 100 tanks are crewed by about 300 soldiers. So, if there are 1000 soldiers, then you have up to 700 available as support (this number would almost certainly include other types of combat troops such as motorized infantry). Furthermore, such a force would have up to 50000 km to disperse in as the current situation certainly does not call for concentrating in one place.

That means if there are 1000 additional Russian soldiers rolling around in Ukraine, then they would be very hard to pinpoint.

Obviously Apple's infallible security is worth the cost. Oh wait.

Of course if you own your own home, you can put in all the ethernet you want.

In theory, yes. In reality it means knocking lots of holes in the walls, drilling through floors, etc, etc.. That gets expensive / time consuming. The previous owners of my house had the thing (built 1890) wired with coax and it all runs on the outside of the house. I settled for running one CAT6 cable from my office on the 2nd floor to the basement. Otherwise I'm stuck with WiFi.

No, in a Typhoon class submarine.

Flying cars aside, the fact that it is 2014 and there is a great deal of communication going on in arbitrary 140 character chunks is ridiculous and shortsighted.

The "From:" header has been spoofable in ASCII since the beginning of e-mail. Given its unreliability, you are foolish if you put much stock into it.

So, if we have a union and we go on strike, can we put the servers on strike too?

"HTTP Error 525: Host is on strike"

..they'd be spending most of their time in the left-most (slowest) lane.

You mean the right lane, pal. No wonder you're getting driverless cars so soon. UK drivers don't know the correct side of the road to drive on!

Nothing you read should ever be assumed to be true. It does not matter whether it is written on Wikipedia, on a dead tree, or some other website. Critical thinking and fact checking are paramount. Does it smell like BS? It probably is.[1]
